Bindon will be at RB. If it's a back 3/5, LK-H is the 3rd CB.
AV said a few weeks back LK-H was going to the Olympics as the 3rd CB. Payne being out just means he'll be playing alongside Surman & Boxall. Not Surman & Bindon.

Just because it's what they've said they'll do doesn't make it a good decision. 3 CBs and Sheridan & Sutton as wing backs suits this squad far better than jamming a square Bindon in a round RB spot, imo.
Yipe and maybe Sheridan in camp trains the house down, and they take a punt on him. But he's a very inexperienced kid who's started one ALM game, where he was dragged after 60 mins getting a tough time from Farrell and Torres.
Playing CCM at Gosford is chicken feed to taking on the best young talent from France at a packed 68,000 Marseille Velodrome.
Bindon ain't a natural RB, but he's now played alot of big match football, and he's shown great mental toughness & self belief. It's a short term band aid solution.
You can only pick 18 players, and only 3 o/a players. Bazeley could have gone for a specialist o/a RB like Roux, Ingham or Kirwan. But they are all a big drop on Boxall's skillset, defensive composure and vast experience.
But yeah if Sheridan gets a chance and performs brilliantly, that would be awesome. We are well overdue producing an excellent RB, capable of say getting into a top 5 league. He is very promising. Lets see how he goes over there.
